ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed 
extension for the authority to conduct the information collection 
request (ICR) titled, ``Closeout Documents.'' This comment request is 
part of continuing Departmental efforts to reduce paperwork and 
respondent burden in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (PRA).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by 
July 5, 2022.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation, 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden, may be obtained free by 
contacting Latonya Torrence by telephone at 202-693-3708 (this is not a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation 
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an 
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested 
data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and 
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly 
understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly 
assessed.
    The purpose of this ICR is to notify Federal award recipients of 
the necessity to submit the required data on the Closeout Documents, 
which consist of the Detailed Statement of Cost (DSC), Government 
Property Close-Out Inventory Certification, and Property Inventory 
Listing (if applicable).
    These forms help to ensure grant award recipients provide a final 
documented accounting of activities conducted under the Federal award 
by allowing funds to be traced to a level of expenditure for 
establishing that such funds have been used in accordance with Federal 
statues, regulations and terms and conditions of the award. The Uniform 
Guidance (31.U.S.C. 503), last amended 10/18/2021, 2 CFR 200.302, 2

[[Page 27188]]

CFR 200.308, 2 CFR 200.313, 2 CFR 200.316 and 2 CFR 200.344 and the 
terms and conditions of all DOL awards, authorize this information 
collection.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by OMB under the PRA and displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6.
    Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the 
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to 
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention 1205-0NEW. Submitted 
comments will also be a matter of public record for this ICR and posted 
on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages commenters not to 
include personally identifiable information, confidential business 
data, or other sensitive statements/information in any comments.
    DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, (e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses).
